i have noticed a big difference between the general and tech forums. There seems to be a much different crowd between these two. Either way, I’m surprised that a simple exhaust swap would be so controversial in this group. One would think we would all support our decisions to mod our car to our liking. Especially among fellow corvette owners. But hey, when I was 16 I owened a blah blah blah and modified the blah blah blah. 😂😂

Seems pretty obvious you still seek attention....you really do need some new material though.

You will really like the Corsa Sport exhaust. I had the Indy Pace Cars on the '03 I had and the exhaust note was music to the ears.

This is pretty entertaining.

Installer did a great job aligning everything. Did the job in under an hour. Left side may be off by a smidge but I’ll get it adjusted next oil change.

isnt getting pissed off a thing you did when you were 16? As a grown and mature adult, surely words on a screen don't upset you?

I accidentally posted something in the for sale section without a price and immediately got reprimanded by the moderators. Yet trolls on these forums just keep posting all day long. Strange dynamic on here.

Yes I'm 74 years old a combat wounded Vietnam Veteran.. I do get pissed off by people like you.. Believe me I'm qualified to be a man. When some one falsely accused me in a forum that I have been deeply involved with for 18 years, I GET PISSED OFF> Surely you know nothing of manhood, remember Ive read a lot of your drivel. YOU troll a lot,,, On the other hand I have 30,000 private message thank you's from people who asked me to help them.

I took the time to ( time I am in short supply of ) explain to the Original Poster that they have not made Corsa Touring exhaust in ten years they were discontinued because they sounded like stock exhaust. They were designed to sound exactly like the stock system . Yet the OP said how great they sounded.. I quizzed him on where he got the touring exhaust since it;s been discontinued for ten years, I thought did he buy them used, I wanted to know how much he spent etc..

He then said he made a mistake in identifying the type of Corsa exhaust.. So I offered as a courtesy to the OP to remove my post which made him look like an *** for saying his Touring exhaust sound so aggressive.. He apologized to me, I told him he didnt have to and I told him how great the actual system he bought actually was. and That I had the same system.. I was so concerned about the OP perception by others that I removed that post . I would have assumed he would have just went and changed his original text to say he just installed the Corsa Sport system. instead of the Touring system. I was nothing but supportive of his post, I was the first to post in his thread.

IM still trying find where I said anything negative..

Its very troubling to throw shade on people who come here only to help others. Sorry I took any of my precious time to try to help and encourage the OP and his choice of exhaust system,

BTW I do not have to defend myself in an internet forum, just point out that there are a lot of bottom feeders who come here to make a fairly great forum, a punk venue for some transient. Some people just dont get it, that when someone makes a mistake and someone question that mistake, its not the person who identifies the mistake, its the person who actually made the mistake.

Words do mean something to me. That's why I chose mine with compassion and empathy when appropriate, and with some heat when appropriate.

@moderators — how is someone like this tolerated on this forum? Argumentative. Condescending. Pages and pages of rants that no one has time to read. Hijacks every thread. Bill needs a timeout.
